History
Laying on the Western fringes of the Imperium, contact was lost with the planet in M36. During the Nova Terra Interregnum, it joined with the Ur-Council of Nova Terra. However in a twist of fortune, Warp Storms isolated Persepolis in the aftermath of the Interregnum and spared it from the vengeful purges of the Ecclesiarchy once Imperial authority over Segmentum Pacificus was reestablished.[1]
In M41 it reestablished contact with the Imperium but refused to re-assimilate, and as a result was one of the first to fall to the Macharian Crusade under Sejanus. The planet held the tomb of the ancient and famed Imperial explorer Indijona the Vagrant.[1]
During the Macharian Heresy, Persepolis was chosen to be capital of the Macharian Sector by Sector-Lord Sejanus.[1]
